Snowflake-UUID

Twitter's Snowflake generator for NodeJS.

Speedy
Lightweight
Zero dependencies

Snowflake-UUID can generate unique Id numbers at high scale with some simple guarantees.

Installing

npm install snowflake-uuid
// or
yarn add snowflake-uuid
// or
pnpm add snowflake-uuid

Example

import { Worker } from 'snowflake-uuid';
// const { Worker } = require('snowflake-uuid');

const generator = new Worker(0, 1, {
	workerIdBits: 5,
	datacenterIdBits: 5,
	sequenceBits: 12,
});

generator.nextId(); // 87559690812260352n
generator.nextId().toString(); // '87559690833231872'

generator.currentSequence; // 0n
generator.datacenterId; // 1n
generator.lastTimestamp; // 1630335057075n
generator.workerId; // 0n

Generated IDs are BigInt and can be easily converted into strings.
